Small differences, set by the distance to the sea.

Short answer

In Denmark it is generally coldest in the middle of Jutland and warmest along the coasts. The differences between regions are small, often less than 1 °C over a year. In 2025 Funen was the warmest region with a mean of 10.1 °C, and East Jutland the coldest with 9.5 °C. Inland Jutland also gets the fewest sunshine hours.
